Answer:
4.5 and 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y , then
x + y = 6 → (1)
x - y = 3 → (2)
Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y, that is
2x + 0 = 9
2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4.5
Substitute x = 4.5 into (1) for value of y
4.5 + y = 6 ( subtract 4.5 from both sides )
y = 1.5
The 2 numbers are 4.5 and 1.5
